I guess that's why according to public records, all of the left-leaning groups who applied for the same thing except one group were approved in under 30 days.
Your sub $500 computer--if you build it yourself is more powerful than the consoles out on the market today and can use DX11 implementations without a problem. The DX9 market you're talking about are the bottom-basement machines that have a $40 videocard in them.
That "citation" is by Eron Gjoni. You can't say "according to her" when she didn't write a single word in what you're claiming for support. At best, you can say "according to this guy who really hates her, she believes [x horrible thing]" , but then everyone would be rightfully skeptical.
Correction: He wrote the blog, though her own posts via her facebook are there where she makes the claim of that definition. That means by her cheating against him, her own definition comes into play. So saying "she didn't write a single word" is factually incorrect, or are you saying that she didn't actually write on her own FB page and make those statements?
Really? Can you point out the misogyny. I'll wait. Go on, find it. By the way, between let's say KiA and gamerghazi or one of the other 5 subs that are run, which one lets both sides speak? I'll give you a hint. It's KiA as long as you follow the rule of no doxxing, you can be as anti-as you want.
It's not like they have a monopoly on having a "gamer neighborhood watch" on twitter. If they are as horrible as you say (honestly, I never heard of them), dump them, ignore them, open up your own.
Since it's the opposition. And the opposition believes that anyone who doesn't toe their line is either: sexist, misogynist, racist, bigoted, have internalized muhsoggyknees, a dupe, uncle tom, house nigger, and three or four other thing I'm forgetting. But they've called anyone who wants journalism reform and clear ethics exactly that.
So, ask yourself--if being a minority and you get labeled a uncle tom with internalized misogyny, who is only following the pro-gg movement because you're too stupid. You wouldn't question the anti-gg side's actual involvement in all of this. If you're not actually following the movement at all, it's mainly left-libertarian(pro-gg) vs left-authoritarian(anti-gg). There are quite a few on the right who are also pro-gg, they're fall right-libertarian though. I've long come to the conclusion that the anti-gg side is made up of people from 1784, and have a strong desire to go back to more puritan ideals. Especially if you don't "fit their vision" of what's allowed.
So the IRS going after tea party groups according to their own internal emails wasn't an attempt to suppress free speech? Okay. I mean, I can see how you believe it wasn't, after all...all those "convenient losses of emails" from a very particular time period, of not only lois lerner, but a dozen or more other people directly related to it...well, what are the chances right?
So if I say A is stupid I have to be for B? False dichotomy much?
According to the anti-GG side, yes you have to be--which is the point I was making, though I should have expanded on it a bit more. Try going against their particular view, and you'll be thrown into the dirt for your troubles.
Actually I'm pretty sure that SJW's are puritans in disguise at this point. Every time something comes along, the first thing they start screaming about is "sexism" or "muhsoggyknees." Strange that it just keeps happening over and over again, you know like with Matt Taylors shirt(who was made by a women). I'm sure though that you'll also find that the majority of people in gamergate are left-libertarians. And the majority of anti-gg are left-authoritarians.
So you're saying you're pro-corruption then? I have to wonder if you read the gamejournopros emails or not, they're just about as good as the journolist stuff--fun fact, same guy who started journolist started gamejournopros and then shit hit the fan there too. What is it about people who think that "hiding in the shadows to make a narrative" is a good idea.
Having consensual sex with someone is a crime? On what planet? Oh and [citation needed] for claim about what she claims is rape.
Yep, according to her. If you're in a relationship with that person. Here's your citation It's long though. Really though, gamergate as a whole moved beyond this after about 5 days, when people kept digging and found exactly how much cross-collusion was going on. Anyone who's either in the industry, or has watched the industry has known for 20 years that there was "favors for friends" and collusion. This just broke the proverbial camels back.
1) They weren't invented crimes. They did happen, she openly admitted to banging 5 guys while in a relationship. Using her own definition of rape, she raped her current partner that she was in a relationship with. 2) No, getting ads pulled because they lied about the movement in the first place. This then further followed by Nick Denton supporting one of his writers stating to "bring back bullying, that nerds should be bullied" and so on. 3) So, critique is harassment? By the way, how does one harass someone when they refuse to debate something. 4) No one in GG has "pushed or published" a gamers bill of rights. That was the anti-GG sides attempt. However, dozens of sites and youtubers have changed their ethics and disclosure policies since GG has started. Including Escapist+8 other affiliate sites, IGN is working on an updated ethics policy, and so on. Youtubers like Total biscuit have also been more open, you might remember him--he's the one who broke the story on the Shadows of Mordor stuff. 5) No one is defending #1 or #3. Though they correct people like you who are getting their information from very specific sources. But it sure makes for a tasty story doesn't it.
Oh you mean the article where Jimmy Wales had to step in and openly state that the article in question had no neutrality. Where he called out several senior editors for engaging in a edit war, skewing it out of neutrality. Where he had to step in to the Gamejournopros article, openly stating that there "was collusion, and at best it could be called denied not debunked." That same article, where he's now called on the pro-GG side to write their own article, because groups like project feminism and editors with no desire for objectivity have tainted the entire thing.
Like the GG-harassment patrol which goes after anyone on both sides? Yep, nothing at all. Then again, I could ask where is the anti-side denouncing people like Briana Wu, Lee Alexander, or Mattie Brice.
Sure, the problem is most people and countries can't afford it, Norman Borlaug figured that out in the 1970's. And jumping a head 30+ years, it still holds true. For a country where half a dozen cities in the west exceed the entire countries GDP--that does become an issue.
Won't somebody think of the ethics in game journalism!?!?
Considering the number of sites, youtubers, and so on that are now adopting, modifying, or rewriting their ethical standards policies to be more open I'd say that the main goal of increasing ethics in game journalism has been successful. Of course, your comment on the "credible rape threats" well let's look at some of the prominent people on GG who've been doxxed, harassed, or fired from their jobs. How about Milo Yiannopoulos who's been mailed syringes, dead animals, and so on. Or the the rape threats by the anti-gg side, or them simply going right off the deep end and calling for a new genocide against gamers. These of course aren't small time people.
Then you've got the open spewing at the mouth ministrants and racists, like Lee "Hood rats need to be killed" Alexander, Mattie "I'm giving low scores to male developed games" Brice and Elizabeth "Sexism against men isn't real" Simms. Yeah, there's a problem, but it sure seems like the anti-side has some serious ethical and moral problems they need to sort through.
This is an INCOMPLETE list of characteristics which disqualify people from becoming cops in Ontario:
- you have ever committed a crime (smoking weed counts)
- you have an above-average IQ (one standard deviation or so)
These are both true... yes, the second one also. Do people really need to wonder why police seem so mindbogglingly incompetent when it comes to technology?
Well I hate to break it to you, but you can become a cop if you've committed a crime. That includes smoking weed, having sat in on several police interviews what they're looking for is honesty. Oh and the vast majority of people that are "picked out of the pile" for policing these days are university graduates with at least 4 years, preferably with a BA or equal level degree.
So guess what we have? A whole pile of cops, that are university students, have never lived on their own, have no street smarts, and fail to grasp the difference between the various issues. In Ontario, about 60% of the people hired by services are university grads, 20% are college grads, the other 20% have highschool only. The "highschool only" ones seem to be the more moderate out of all of them.
Ahh...the OPP, who directly campaigned for the current government of Ontario. Who were doing an investigation into the gas plant scandals, which has mysteriously ended...the Liberals(party) however, have investigated themselves, and I'm sure they're going to find no corruption at all.
Being realistic though, the OPP doesn't have in-car terminals, if they want to make an inquiry they have to call it in. So that should tell you how far behind the times they are. Compared to a place like Peel Region where every officers vehicle is real-time GPS tracked.
Really? How many people from the various news agencies have someone either directly or indirectly working at the Whitehouse these days, or in the recent 6 years. You've got the presidents of ABC and CBS who have relatives who work there. You've got Carney who's married to a ABC news contributor, though he's no longer there. Yeah the list goes on, and on, and on.
Speaking of which, when was the last time you heard the media trot out the "deaths of american soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan" bit? I'll bet it was right about the time Bush Jr., left office. Of course the reporting just happened to be no longer news worthy right? Or that in the last 6 years under Obama he's accumulated ~70% of the total deaths of Americans since the entire series of wars started in that region.
Don't worry. When the guys at ABC, MSNBC, and CBS all have someone who works either for, or under the current administration in some form you're going to run into problems. People like to complain about Bush and all that, but under Obama it's been a run of "how can we bury this to protect our guy." At least under Bush they were willing to actually be reporters.
You do realize that there is 1.6 billion of people that are muslims in the world, spread out over the most of the globe? Your comment is like saying that we should ban all Christians from having human rights, because they are Bible thumping bigots opposing gays and abortions.
I guess they're all racists right? Oh wait...muslim isn't a race now is it. Going on with that, what's the difference between Christianity and Islam? If you answered anything other than Christianity has had a reformation(several actually), then you need to dust off your history books and start reading some more. Let's not forget that in Islam, the Koran is considered the end-be-all-final work of god. As such, changing anything is heresy. Something is fundamentally broken in Islam, sticking your head in the sand is not the answer. So perhaps the person that should be educating themselves is you.
The problem is that "rational muslims" are considered "not muslims" by a very large segment of the population. And even if you take the most conservative guess based on previous studies you're looking at 25%(that's in western countries) that openly support terrorism, death of apostates, and so on. You look for the same views in other countries, and it varies between 40-70% of support, especially in muslim countries. So while you say evil isn't born, it's created you've got a large swath of people out there who believe their brand of whatever to be the only true view and interpretation of events in the world.
Considering that every time someone says something like wanting no religious accommodation in schools. Muslim groups start screaming "islamophobia or islamophobe" some other type of crap, it does seem to be particular to them.
But sure, there's fanatical people. What's the difference between Muslims and Christians? Two things, first Christians don't believe that all people are Christian or born as such. Islam dictates that all people are. Second, Christianity has had a reformation(several actually), Islam has had none. Also, your "dangerous holy crusades" were in response to Muslims. More so the out-right slaughter, rape, murder, and forced conversion of Christians in Spain...that had been on-going for nearly 100 years by that time.
An individual who's fanatical, most people would lump as an individualist. And sure, there's plenty of Muslims in Canada who aren't coming to try and force you to change, but there are plenty that are. There are also some that are being directly attacked by their own community when they came out after the Muslim drove over two soldiers in Quebec stating that all mosques need to be shut down immediately and investigated. It's nice and all, but there is something fundamentally broken in Islam. All Islamic organizations need to have a financial audit, and all immigration from Islamic countries stopped in the intern.
Burying your head in the sand over it, won't make it go away.
Gotcha. So you'd rather that people starve to death, go blind, or anything else as long as it makes you feel good. That kind of tells a lot about a person doesn't it.

You realize that on the most conservative estimates, that roughly 25% of muslims support extremism(that's via western countries). You jump out a bit to the non-westernized countries and it jumps as high as 70% supporting extremism, that means either the acts themselves or the belief that the acts themselves are justified. So, here's something for you to think about. After the first terrorist attack here in Canada by a muslim, in Quebec a muslim group came out saying that all mosques need to be investigated and shut down for three months, all funding must be investigated. All speech must be investigated, and all immigration from muslim countries needs to be stopped for a protracted period.
I guess they're all racists right? Oh wait...muslim isn't a race now is it. Going on with that, what's the difference between Christianity and Islam?
